After the end of the #kingdomproverbs series last week, I have been searching for a new idea to run with. I love having content to write about especially when it comes to Scripture, and even though we've got over 30,000 verses to choose from in the bible, following a plan is always best.
It's funny how God works...
I'm sitting there, struggling with what we could go over in the next few weeks and I started looking over at my bible collection....Yeah I have a few...
I actually read pretty much all of these at one given moment in my journey through Scripture but there was one that was first....
On the right side of that photo I have circled my original bible. This is one I bought around 2007 or 2008 and at that time, I didn't know anything about God, Christ or anything to do with faith. I just found this old Thomas Nelson Large Print Reference bible in my local bookstore for 20 bucks. Bought it and it was sitting on my shelf for a few years...
I then started getting curious. My wife (girlfriend at that time) and I started discussing religion and how important it was to base our relationship on God, so that encouraged me to dive into Scripture. I was hooked! The more I studied, the more I fell in love with God. There were so many truths that I learned, and so many popular catch phrases that came directly from the pages of Scripture...I was just blown away.
I couldn't put this thing down.
I wrote in it. Highlighted everything. Scribbled tiny stars and symbols besides references so I could remember them. I even pasted different graphics and images in between the pages. Which all led to my love of the bible and a deeper love of Christ....
Which brings me to point of this blog post...
This is a graphic I have taped to the inside front cover of my first bible.
I can't remember where I found it, but this was something that I could use, every day when I needed to go to the bible for an answer.
And that's the graphic I'm going to go over in this next #bible series.
There's 17 verses / chapters, going over a variety of topics. Each of them I pray, can help us in our walk with God and through the ups and downs of life. We will go over them each day I post to the blog, expand on it and of course dig deep in how this can help us, in practical ways!
I know from personal experience that these verses and chapters have helped me tremendously. So I'll even share some testimonials along the way.
We'll call this series #bible911
I think there's a catchy ring to it :)
So we'll dive into this series here in the Kingdom community and hope to get everyone involved again. Friendly reminder, if you are interested in doing online bible talks and community chats about faith, be sure to swing by the Kingdom Discord. And if you are creating religious content on the blockchain, make sure to post to the Kingdom community as well :)
I truly hope and pray this series will be a joy and blessing to you!
